The beta test shall undertake not to publish the beta, and have a mechanism that anti leaks, this means that not only would find the informer, but you use it the users activate the safety mechanism to make them shiny bricks (Forewarned is a traitor).

The beta testers inform the organizer of the bugs to be repaired. The testing period will be from 2 weeks to address everything that contains the JFW-DH and so do not leave nothing out.

The estimated date for the publication of the JFW-DH is October 1, 2011 (after two weeks testing the above)

Yea, that does seem a ways off if the JFW DH PS3 Custom Firmware Beta testing is 2 weeks... I guess time will tell for sure though.

Also below is some more details from blipi who is one of the developers working on OpenPStore: *********.net/forum/threads/353-JFW-?p=3377#post3377

Hey people. I've just heard you posted this here, and I just said to myself, let's post too. Atm I'm working on OpenPStore, which is part of the JFW. I've been working on it for many many hours, as all devs which are working on JFW, and it is just disgusting to read people saying JFW is a fake.

I've seen pics of JFW running, not all of its features though, so it's not fake. There is a whole team working hard every day to bring this to you, and I've actually talked to all of them and I do know their work is real. Just for you to know, now it is 2 am where I live, I've been working till now just to have it all ready for the beta test and not to delay it anymore.

We want to verify everything is working without any problems before releasing it, to avoid things such as bricks or weird bugs. That's why the beta and further release will take so long. So far it is all progressing fine, and I do have proofs of, at least, my work.

Here I bring you 2 proofs of how hard we are working (OpenPStore).

1- We had a problem with a pre-made library to read .xml files (mxml), which was solved by manually coding a new .xml parser.

(Don't expect to find any OpenPStore here, as it is only a .xml parser)

2- Final GUI design of OpenPStore (Not a pic of a ps3, but from a PC. Though PS3 is exactly the same):
It will come in multiple colors, with an autochanger (to random color) feature.

If you want to I can keep you updated. JFW is real, and we are putting all our effort into it. Do not trust any fake release/leak! I don't know if the brick thing is true, but having seen all the work which has been done here, I would just trust it and not mess around.

Nobody is going to brick nobody's console unless someone leaks the JFW. And, even if it is leaked, if you don't use the leaked beta, you dont' have to worry about anything. And ofcourse, the final release won't have this anti-leak feature.

I also have to say thanks to everyone of you who do trust in us and give us support, as support and opinions is our only pay back for the work

Blipi

PS: If it was for me, I would translate JFW and it's homebrew to English and more languages, but as I am not the only one who works in this project, I don't know when English support will come or whether it will come or not. Sorry.

PS2: For those claiming evidence... Beta will be here soon, just wait. You cant trust us or not. I know what I'm doing, and I do know that it is real. I don't even have a ps3 to test OpenPStore too, and I have to keep asking for testers. More than 5 people have already tried OpenPStore, and every one of them could tell you that it is real.
